Members of the Tippecanoe
County Area area Genealogy Society are working on this list of early
churches of Tippecanoe County. We hope to add photographs
of each one. If you or someone you know has a photograph of any
Church below we would love to post it. This database is an
effort to help others find genealogy resources in your search to find
family information and preserve the history. Please remember this
information came mainly from early history books of the past. The
beginning of many churches started in building of other denominations.
The main tables were created from TIPCOA members Susan Y. Clawson and
Joyce Watterson. Many photographs came from myself or Kathy
& Keith Hiser, who enjoyed their trip around Tippecanoe County
finding what was left of the buildings. Thanks ladies and Keith,
we really appreciate your time and effort on this project.

We would love help, connecting any
additional information or webpage's. I can link them to help
us all learn the past history. Already many links have gone bad.
Please share new ones at E-mail: TIPCOA
